Den J. Economou spent decades working in transportation and travel in north Texas before pursuing a career in acting, his lifelong ambition. "I raised two children, and I knew that my time with my family would have been sacrificed in a very big way if I was to have pursued it at an earlier age," Economou says. "I made a conscious decision to put all that aside until my kids were grown and in college and my wife and I had some free time on our hands."Only months after he started his acting training, Economou decided to answer a casting notice in Back Stage for an experimental Nyu short film called "Places Without People Without Places." It follows four characters as they try to come to terms with their loneliness.Economou was particularly interested in the role of Tom, a middle-aged man coping with personal tragedy and the end of his marriage.
